DEFINATION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Fast and irregular heartbeats could imply atrial fibrillation. This is an arrythmia wherein their is an uncoupling of the electrical synchronization between the upper cardiac chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles). This leads to a fast and irregularly irregular (irregular cadence). This can result in light headedness and potentially in clot formation and stroke risk.
